Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of monitoring facilities, in particular to dual power supply equipment and a monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] Monitoring equipment is becoming increasingly mature and popular, but the threshold for using monitoring equipment in extremely cold areas and areas without electricity is still high. This has led to the emergence of cold-resistant capacitor batteries. Compared with ordinary lithium batteries, although they have a slightly higher cost, they extend the battery life and can be charged and discharged quickly and stably in extremely cold environments. However, in extremely cold areas and areas without electricity, to ensure the long-term stable operation of monitoring equipment, capacitor batteries need to be charged.

[0003] CN116195164A discloses a method for charging at least one battery pack from at least one photovoltaic panel (1, 2). The photovoltaic panel generates instantaneous electric power (PΔt) at each time point (Δt), which is converted into a charging current in a converter connected to the photovoltaic panel. The charging current is transmitted to at least one battery pack via a DC power line. According to this method, at each time point (Δt), the value of the instantaneous electric power (PΔt) of the photovoltaic panel and the value of the maximum possible charging voltage of the battery pack are continuously monitored. Then, at each time point (Δt), the instantaneous electric power (PΔt) of the photovoltaic panel is continuously converted into an optimal charging current, with the optimal charging current as the maximum value, and the optimal charging current satisfies the conditions Iopt.= and Iopt.≤Imax.

[0004] In the existing technology, capacitor batteries are usually used to power monitoring equipment. However, under extreme climatic conditions, the battery life of capacitor batteries is not strong, and charging capacitor batteries is extremely challenging. To solve this technical problem, photovoltaic panels are generally used to charge capacitor batteries in the existing technology. However, capacitor batteries are charged and discharged at the same time, resulting in a shorter battery life. When the battery cell temperature is below 0°C, the battery power supply will also drop significantly, resulting in insufficient battery power supply and causing the entire monitoring system to be paralyzed.

[0033] In existing technologies, capacitor batteries have limited battery life under extreme climatic conditions, and charging them is extremely challenging. Photovoltaic panels are generally used to charge capacitor batteries, but capacitor batteries are charged and discharged simultaneously, shortening their lifespan. When the battery cell temperature drops below 0°C, the battery power supply also drops significantly, resulting in insufficient battery power and paralysis of the entire monitoring system.

[0034] The utility model provides a dual power supply device. The dual current interactive device provided by the utility model is mainly used in extremely cold areas or areas without electricity.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a dual power supply device connection according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional diagram of a backup power supply assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an explosion of a battery module and a heating component according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a commonly used power supply component in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the power supply device includes: a normal power supply component 1, a backup power supply component 2 and a photovoltaic power generation panel 3; an AC contactor 4 is provided between the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2; the input end of the normal power supply component 1 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation panel 3, and the output ends of the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2 are respectively electrically connected to one side of the AC contactor 4, and the other side of the AC contactor 4 is electrically connected to the electrical appliance; the backup power supply component 2 is provided with a battery module 21 and a heating component 22 that is tightly fitted with the battery module 21.

[0037] The utility model provides a dual power supply device, which is provided with two power supply components, namely a normal power supply component 1 and a backup power supply component 2. Specifically, in order to charge the normal power supply component 1, a photovoltaic power generation panel 3 is provided, and the photovoltaic power generation panel 3 is electrically connected to the normal power supply component 1. When the normal power supply component 1 is exhausted, the photovoltaic power generation panel 3 can charge the normal power supply component 1 in time. In order to realize automatic switching between the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2, an AC contactor 4 is provided between the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2; the input end of the normal power supply component 1 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic power generation panel 3, and the output ends of the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2 are respectively electrically connected to one side of the AC contactor 4, and the other side of the AC contactor 4 is electrically connected to the electrical appliance. When the normal power supply component 1 is powered off, the part connecting the normal power supply component 1 and the AC contactor 4 is disconnected, and the part connecting the backup power supply component 2 and the AC contactor 4 is closed. On the contrary, when the photovoltaic power generation panel 3 charges the normal power supply component 1 to a certain extent and the normal power supply component 1 is discharged, the part connecting the normal power supply component 1 and the AC contactor 4 is closed, and the part connecting the backup power supply component 2 and the AC contactor 4 is disconnected. In an extremely cold environment, in order to ensure the use efficiency of the battery, the backup power supply assembly 2 is provided with a battery module 21 and a heating assembly 22 that is tightly fitted with the battery module 21 .

[0038] In order to realize automatic switching between the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2, in a specific embodiment, the AC contactor 4 includes a first contact 41 and a second contact 42, the first contact 41 is connected to the normal power supply component 1, and the second contact 42 is connected to the backup power supply component 2, wherein the AC contactor 4 can be set as an automatic switching appliance with the function of connecting or disconnecting the load main circuit. A double-control switch is provided in the AC contactor 4, and electromagnetic force can be used to connect the connecting wire in the switch to the first contact 41 or the second contact 42. Specifically, the connection and disconnection of the first contact 41 and the second contact 42 can control the connection and disconnection of the circuit.

[0039] In order to ensure the normal operation of the circuit and prevent the normal power supply component 1 and the backup power supply component 2 from discharging at the same time, in a specific embodiment, the first contact 41 is set to a normally closed contact, and the second contact 42 is set to a normally open contact. The normally closed contact refers to a contact that can generate electromagnetic force to attract the switch to close, and the normally open contact refers to a contact that cannot generate electromagnetic force; when the normal power supply component 1 is powered off, the second contact 42 is electrically connected to the backup power supply component 2. Specifically, when the normal power supply component 1 stops discharging, the current is disconnected, the electromagnetic force on the first contact 41 disappears, and the switch in the AC contactor 4 jumps to the second contact 42. At this time, the backup power supply component 2 is switched to charge the electrical appliances. When the photovoltaic panel 3 supplies power to the normal power supply component 1 to a certain level, the normal power supply component 1 is powered on, the electromagnetic force on the first contact 41 is restored, and the switch in the AC contactor 4 jumps to the first contact 41. At this time, the normal power supply component 1 is switched to charge the electrical appliances.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the battery can still supply power normally in an environment below 0°C, in a specific embodiment, the backup power supply component 2 is further provided with a housing 23, which has a heat-insulating function. The battery module 21 and the heating component 22 are both arranged in the housing 23; the battery module 21 includes a plurality of electrically connected battery cells, and the heating component 22 includes two heating sheets 221;

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to increase the heating area of ​​the battery module 21 , in a specific embodiment, two heating sheets 221 are respectively adhered to two sides of the battery module 21 .

[0042] In order to uniformly heat the battery module 21 , in one embodiment, the surface of the battery module 21 is coated with a temperature-sensitive material.

[0043] For convenient connection, connection terminals 231 are provided on both sides of the housing 23 . One end of the connection terminal 231 is electrically connected to the battery module 21 , and the other end of the connection terminal 231 is connected to the AC contactor 4 .

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to increase the service life of the common power supply assembly 1, in a specific embodiment, the common power supply assembly 1 includes a capacitor battery module 11, and the capacitor battery module 11 includes at least two electrically connected capacitor battery cells;

[0045] In order to prevent the common power supply component 1 from overcharging or over-discharging, in a specific embodiment, the common power supply component 1 also includes a power control board 12, which is electrically connected to the capacitor battery module 11. The power control board 12 can control the input and output of the current of the common power supply component 1. Specifically, when the voltage in the capacitor battery module 11 is lower than the threshold, the power control board 12 controls the capacitor battery module 11 to stop discharging, and the photovoltaic power generation panel 3 charges the capacitor battery module 11. When charged to a certain level, the power control board 12 controls the capacitor battery module 11 to stop charging and discharge.

Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required for the present invention.

[0048] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
